MacLinkPlus Deluxe 15
<
>If you have ever received an email attachment, taken home a file from work, or received a document that you could not open then MacLinkPlus Deluxe 15 may be the solution you are looking for. <
> <
>MacLinkPlus lets you open, view, print and convert files from one format to another even if you don't have the applications that created them. You can also open those pesky unreadable email attachments. <
> <
>MacLinkPlus is easy to install, just insert the CD and double click the installer. Plus it is simple to use. Launch the program, click "Add" and select the file you want to view or translate; or drag and drop the file onto the MacLinkPlus icon. You may simply open and read the document or have it translated into a format that your computer can handle thus allowing you to edit and work with the file. <
> <
>MacLinkPlus translates many Windows and Mac word processing, spreadsheet, and database formats. Also, it contains translators for Photoshop, SMP, JPEG, PICT, TIFF, and other graphic formats. MacLinkPlus Deluxe makes it easier to extract text from PDF files and supports the latest version of the Stuffit compression/decompression utility, making it easier to handle email attachments. <
> <
>I asked family members to send me as many different Windows documents and files as they could. Wouldn't you know! The first one I received, written in MS Word DOS, MacLinkPlus 15 could not open. The program does give additional information and tips to handle documents you are unable to open, but it could not translate this file. I was able to view this particular item as a simple text file but it wasn't totally readable. All other files I received I was able to open and read or translate into a useable format. <
> <
>My husband regularly receives Windows attachments and documents that he is unable to open. His problem is now solved. He just emails them to me to translate and then I return the translated file.. <
> <
>My employer has several files stored on floppy disks, written on Mac programs that are no longer available. He was unable to open these documents. I suggested he purchase MacLinkPlus, which he did, and now he has access to all his old files. <
> <
>A neat new feature is the ability for MacLinkPlus 15 to convert word processing and PDF files to text and send them to your iPod. This feature works with all dock connecting iPods including iPod Mini <
>. <
>Also included is icWord and icExcel. Both applications work with MacLinkPlus Deluxe to allow you to view PowerPoint, Word, Excel, Clarisworks, and Appleworks files & spreadsheets. <
> <
>MacLinkPlus is not able to translate all formats, but most are supported. <
> <
>Not everyone will find this software useful. If you only work with current Mac software or the major cross-platform applications you will have no need for it. But for those who have data stored in old formats, or receive documents in various Windows formats MacLinkPlus Deluxe 15 could save much time and frustration. <
>I find it very useful , and wish I had followed my instincts and purchased this software a long time ago. <
> <
> Requires Mac OS 10.2 or later. .

an excellent product made even better
I've had earlier versions of this product and eagerly await updated editions since they only get better. For those who have never used it, this is an indispensable tool to open a wide variety of files you may get through the Internet or shared in other ways for which you have no application on your computer. This includes the latest MS Word and Excel 2004 files as well as WordPerfect 12. <
> <
>This highly clever and sophisticated program, which installs very quickly and easily, allows you to open most Windows files, pictures, and e-mail attachments you can't otherwise. It converts both Windows and Macintosh files and allows you to share reformatted files easily on disk or through the Internet. <
> <
>With this program you can translate virtually any file you get, and also view files or pictures with applications you don't own. Further, you can create custom settings to automatically convert certain files. This feature I like since I can drag old databases I created in MS Works in the late 1980s onto a separate icon you can set up to automatically convert them to recent database programs. Slick! <
> <
>For the few files you still cannot open, the program gives tips on opening them, though with past editions I would have liked more information offered here. So far, I'm not sure what to expect on this issue with Version 15.0 since everything I've tried to open has indeed opened fine! <
> <
>One recent feature of MacLinkPlus allows you to carry documents on your iPod, such as directions and "to-do" lists. But not having an iPod, I can only guess is a good feature. <
> <
>All and all, I find this product very very useful and wonder how anyone can live without it.
